Geeks who try to be hip usually fail, let’s admit it. Nowadays being a geek is cool anyway, so why try to be something else?
This being said, the only thing the Geek Temporary Tattoos could be used for is a prank or a silly gift… I don’t think anyone over the age of 10 could think they are truly cool. But anyone would *ahem* appreciate waking up in the morning after a party with 127.0.0.1 written on his forehead…
However, just because they’re called tattoos doesn’t mean they need to be attached to skin… Most of these would look just perfect on my laptop.

One of the coolest presents you could give me when I was a kid was bubblegum with tattoos. All the kids I knew went through a tattoo period. Our “decorations” ranged from one small tattoo to both arms full of them. To the relief of our parents, they could be easily washed off when we needed to look like nice little children for a family reunion.
If you want to relive your childhood (or, better yet, try out a tattoo design before getting it done permanently), try the Inkjet tattoo paper. Each tattoo sheet actually has two pieces: one printable A4 sheet and one adhesive film. To make a temporary tattoo you just have to print the image on one sheet, transfer it the the adhesive film, apply the film to the skin and peel it off.
A bit expensive just for kid’s play, but considering the price of a tattoo (and the removal process), getting a temporary one before commiting to something permanent sounds like a great idea to me.

I first saw these tattoos a month or two ago, but they were nowhere to be found for sale. But now, finally! they can be preordered.
The Fred To-do Tattoos are absolutely useless and very cool. They’re removable tattoos you can stick on your hand, then use the “list” to write down the things you need done. No more forgetting your shopping list at home!
Of course, you don’t need a special tattoo for that, you can use a pen. And your shopping list will never fit on the palm of your hand. But it’s so silly I love it.

Skin for your laptop? Check. Skin for your iPod? Check. Skin for your toilet? Che… err?
No, you’re not reading it wrong. Now you can get skins (or tattoos, like they’re actually called) for your toilet. And, honestly, I can see why. A plain white toilet seat is boring. Men might not appreciate the idea, but most women like their various items to match. And why not have a nice green pattern on the walls, shower curtain and toilet? (Yes, there’s the alternative of the rugs, but I personally don’t like them at all.)
The Toilet Tattoos come in a very wide range of models and colors and, since I found a couple I loved and a couple I hated, there’s probably something for every taste. They cling to the toilet lid with the use of electrostatic energy, so you can take them off and reuse them with no problem.
Maybe it’s just the decoration craze I’ve been in lately, but I really want to get one of these right now.
